FOREWORD 

P erhaps a word of explanation in connection 
with our present show will not be amiss. 
On a recent trip of that eminent authority, 
Dr. Bredius, to this country, for the purpose of 
studying the iHJaattra," during one of his 

visits to our gallery, we took occasion to show 
him our four portraits of Antonio Moro. He 
seemed greatly surprised and impressed to find 
four fine examples of this rare Master in a private 
gallery, and made the remark: “Why, with four 
paintings like those, you should give a special 
exhibition of the work of Antonio Moro!” Acting 
on his suggestion, we have hung up the present 
exhibition of four Moros. We have added to these 
a few fine examples of other Schools but of the 
same period. 

To those who are interested, we shall be only too 
glad to furnish the history, pedigrees and well- 
known experts’ endorsement of any of the pictures 
in this exhibition. We make no mention of these in 
the catalogue, as we believe, first and foremost 
the quality of a picture should speak for itself.
